Announced last month, Michael Bay is producing a pandemic thriller that’s going to shoot in Los Angeles during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic that has halted all Hollywood productions here in the U.S., and we’ve learned this week that Demi Moore has been set to lead the cast of that project. Adam Mason (“Into the Dark”) is directing the film, titled Songbird.
Craig Robinson, Paul Walter Hauser, and Peter Stormare have also been cast.
The press release details, “Production will utilize strict social distancing practices and innovative techniques that will allow for shooting to begin imminently.”
“At its heart, Songbird is a love story. Told from street level through the eyes of the characters, Songbird takes place two years into the future, as lockdown has been re-implemented after a more serious virus continues to mutate. In a feeble attempt to keep the sickness contained, the city has been bisected into haves and have nots. The film centers around an essential worker who has a rare immunity, a delivery man who delivers goods and hope throughout the city. Like the vast majority of the population, his girlfriend is locked within her home, and the couple have no ability to physically be together. To be with the one he loves, our hero must overcome martial law, murderous vigilantes and a powerful, well connected family, helmed by a matriarch (Piper Griffin, played by Moore) who will stop at nothing to protect her family and maintain her way of life. Songbird is a story about the resilience of the human spirit and the idea that hope is worth fighting for.”
Songbird is directed by Adam Mason, who co-wrote the script with Simon Boyes. It is produced by Invisible Narratives in partnership with Catchlight Studios and Michael Bay.
